This document outlines a curriculum for teaching about folk songs and arts from Europe, Australia, and America. It includes standards, essential understandings, and performance tasks. Students will learn about indigenous art forms like carving, weaving, and pottery from these regions. They will analyze how factors like history and culture influence artistic styles. Students will then apply what they learned by creating examples of indigenous art and comparing styles between regions. The goal is for students to understand how folk art reflects the lives of common people in different places.
